Why does Trump claim there have been multiple assassination attempts against him?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
Donald Trump is locking down the White House and building permanent fencing around it as he fears for his life, as he claims that there have been five assassination attempts against him already. And like four in the past month and a half, he keeps on making up. I think, oh, I was just about to be killed here and I was just about to be killed there. And now they're saying that Netanyahu told Donald Trump that he's about to be killed by Iran. And then Donald Trump needs to immediately take action or they're going to kill him. And then Donald Trump just went to the New York Post and said, I've given instructions. If Iran kills me, we're going to bomb them and blow them up like never before. Those are the instructions.

if i get killed and then donald trump is now building this fencing around the white house permanent fencing as he has this tarp around the white house as well which he says he's redoing all of the columns in the white house this says he's ripped down as you know the east wing of the white house while he is now building a bunker for himself and saying that he needs a drone port defense system because ballistic missiles and drones are going to be hitting him. Just take a look right here. So the Trump regime not only discussing plans, they put forward the plans to build permanent security fencing on the White House, around the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, around Lafayette Square. Take a look right here.
Ben Meiselas 1:40
Dan Diamond over at the Washington Post shows the following breaking. The Trump administration has released its proposal to fence Lafayette Square across the street from the White House. The proposal also acknowledges plans to fence Pennsylvania Avenue too.

What evidence is cited that Netanyahu warned Trump about an Iranian plot?

Ben Meiselas 1:57
The new permanent fences would be at 15th and 17th Street Northwest and allow Secret Service White House to more easily close the area. If they think that there is a security risk, and you can see right here as they're turning the White House into literally a military bunker. This as CNN claims, Israel shared intelligence with the U.S. that Iran had devised a new plan, a new one, to assassinate Donald Trump. Remember, a month and a half ago, they had a plan regarding Ivanka. And, uh... This is a new plan, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. There are lots of people out there also saying, I'm not going to name names, but I was told by someone close to Donald Trump that Trump thinks that Israel is going to kill him in order to help with their goal of having a bigger ground invasion of Iran.
Ben Meiselas 2:50
Donald Trump thinks that everybody is going to kill him right now. This is what Trump told the New York Post. He says, if Iran assassinates me, I've left instructions, literally bomb them at levels never seen before. This comes at a time, by the way, where Donald Trump's been posting this morning, Iran desperately wants to do talks. I'm saying the ceasefire is officially off. The MOU is dead. But Iran is begging me, please, can we have talks? Then Donald Trump leaked to Barack Ravid, his personal stenographer. Over at the outlet Axios, there are productive discussions taking place. And then he leaked to others that there's going to be meetings in Switzerland taking place very soon because Iran desperately wants to make a deal.
Ben Meiselas 3:38
To which the Iranian state media said this is all false. Don't listen to Donald. Don't listen to Axios. We have no interest in any negotiations or discussions until the United States makes good on what it said it was going to do in the MOU. There's nothing to negotiate. We did the deal. It was called the MOU. We knew the Trump regime was going to violate it. They did violate it. And now the United States put two U.S. supercarriers, the Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier and the George H.W. Bush carrier, less than 250 kilometers from the coast of Iran in order to try to bait Iran into attacking the carriers. So then Trump can use that as a pretext for a ground invasion or a significant end or significant escalation of the war in Iran.
Ben Meiselas 4:32
He's baiting Iran to attack. Never before have the aircraft carriers, even since this catastrophic war began, has Trump put those carriers so close to the coast of Iran.
